2. #2 The Phone Call

Holly's' POV

I stepped into the changing rooms at the studio and pulled out my uniform. I opened up a changing stall and stripped down to my underwear. I slipped on my white ballet tights and pulled on my leotard which was burgundy and lacy.

It was my favorite leotard out of the 'collection' I had. I tied the ribbons of my pointe shoes and unlocked my stall to step into the communal area where everyone was waiting to be called into class. I spotted my friends, Ruby and Scarlet. I ran over to them, giving them a quick hug and kiss on the cheek before the instructor, Madame Nettie called the class in. We were told to pair up in girl/boy pairs so I immediately ran over to Joe, my boyfriend of 8 months. We were taught many complicated lifts and Joe and I completed them without fault.

"Holly, Joe, try this" Madame Nettie called. She ran up to Nathan, who was her fiance and assisted the classes. He held her waist and lifted her up so she was able to do splits above his head.

"Ready?" Joe asked. I nodded and prepared myself. I began to ran but stopped as the receptionist, Cassie burst through the doors of the studio.

"Holly, you need to come with me, there is someone on the phone for you. It's urgent" Cassie called to me. I ran to collect my gym bag and ran down the flight of stairs to the phone behind the reception desk. I picked up the phone.

"Hello?" I asked.

"Hello is this Holly Scott?"

"Yes, how can I help" I asked.

"This is the local hospital, I'm afraid both your parents have been in a car accident. Could you possibly come as soon as possible"

I became numb, what happened? I hung up after agreeing to come as soon as I could. I changed out of my ballet shoes and put on the red converse, threw on my Pineapple crop top and got into my car, driving as fast as I could.
